Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra
| 10:00 UK time, Tuesday, 12 May 2009
Bill Bailey takes a light-hearted look at how the orchestra works and the lesser-known influences of various classical composers in his Remarkable Guide to the Orchestra.
A remarkable orchestra itself, the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Scottish Symphony Orchestra perform a musical and visual extravaganza for all the family in June. CÂ鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú's Kirsten O'Brien and Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Scotland's Heather 'the Weather' Reid present a musical journey round Our Planet, mixing music, science and geography.
And you can get involved with the SSO, singing Haydn's The Creation in a special Listen Here! event in June. Previous experience of choral singing is not essential but be quick, register your interest for this unique chance to join members of the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Singers no later than this Friday.
The new Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú SSO 09/10 Season brochures are available to download at bbc.co.uk/sso.
